Leveraging Students' Backgrounds as Assets in Instruction

We design for the students whose potential is not currently being realized within the American public education system, specifically Black students and students who are English learners. We believe challenging K-12 academic standards, in the context of culturally relevant teaching and equitable classroom practice, are non-negotiable when it comes to improving student outcomes. We believe that effective leadership and instruction persistently takes action to eradicate racist systems and policies so that all students can thrive academically.

In partnership with other passionate change-makers, we design tools and resources, professional learning, and other supports, grounded in research and the reality of the classroom. Student Achievement Partners regularly engages content experts, policy makers, partner organizations, and practitioners to reimagine just, equitable, and excellent instruction at grade level. We develop practical tools and resources to help teachers plan for and implement equitable instruction. We partner with anyone committed to bold, substantial efforts to rethink how we teach and students learn.
